Chapter 195: Soap Wholesale Business

However, as soon as Li Shoude's words left his mouth, Yun Ying threw herself into his arms softly.

"Shoude, I, I'm so scared..."

Yun Ying's eyes were filled with tears, her body trembling slightly, just right to reveal her rounded shoulders wrapped in the bedding.

"Sob sob sob, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me being by your side, Sister wouldn't have been so angry that she wanted to smash you with the kerosene lamp..."

"What! Eldest Daughter-in-law actually dared to smash my son with a kerosene lamp!"

At this, even Li Family Old Man was angry. "Shoude, don't stop her. I think Sun Shi is becoming more and more lawless now. Let your mother teach her a good lesson!"

The Old Man had spoken, and now Li Shoude didn't dare to step forward to stop her.

Zhu Shi watched with schadenfreude on the side, and even Li Shoucai had an indifferent expression.

Not a single person in the Li family stood up to speak for Sun Shi.

Sun Shi was pressed to the ground by Li Family Old Woman and beaten until she was on the verge of death.

The villagers watched with cold hearts, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

In the end, they all shook their heads and left.

By the time the news of the Li family's fire reached Jiang Xiaoxiao's ears, it was already the next day.

Along with it, the fact that Li Jinfeng had married into the Huang family was spread throughout the village by Zhu Shi's big mouth.

Everyone knew the ins and outs of the whole thing and felt a bit of sighing.

"Hmph, I said the Huang family wasn't anything good! Marrying over to enjoy a life of luxury, she didn't even weigh herself. They are a big wealthy family, how could they take a fancy to us mud-legged people from the countryside."

Chunya, young and sharp-tongued, was squeezing goat milk in the Jiang family's backyard with Gao Xiaoyan. After hearing the whole thing, she couldn't stop complaining.

"Why did the Li family want to sell their daughter to the Huang family? That's their own biological daughter, don't they feel heartache?"

Gao Xiaoshuan was drying osmanthus flowers on the side. He was young, and his own elder sister had almost been sold to human traffickers; he had felt miserable for several days and really didn't understand this practice of selling one's own daughter to someone else's family.

"The Li family members are just a bunch of heartless people!"

Chunya pouted her little mouth and said: "When Xiaoxiao sister was still in their house, it was either beating or scolding, and she couldn't even eat her fill. My mother saw it several times and said she was as thin as a cat, and still had to go up the mountain to pick firewood and work... If you ask me, this is all the evil their family brought upon themselves!"

Indeed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was helping to dry wild ginger flowers on the side, silently agreed in her heart.

The Li family members were heartless; the owner of this body was tortured to death by the Li family members.

A little girl not even five years old, hungry until she was dizzy, unable to even stand steadily, still had to be forced to do all kinds of housework. Picking firewood on the mountain was considered easy; usually at home, she was either beaten by Li Family Old Woman or bullied by the younger generation of the Li family, spitting on her, throwing stones at her...

Therefore, even though the marriage between the Huang family and the Li family was secretly facilitated by her, she didn't regret it at all, considering it as revenge for the original owner.

"Xiaoxiao!"

At this time, Zhao Dasao entered the backyard. "Some people have come to your house, it seems they want to buy soap. Your mother wants you to go to the main room."

"Hey, alright."

Hearing that someone had come to buy soap, Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately put down the work in her hand, walked a few steps, then remembered, and hurriedly turned back to instruct: "Auntie, help me transport these dried flowers to the soap workshop, they need to use them there."

"Alright, you go quickly, I'll do these."

Jiang Xiaoxiao left the backyard and hurried to the main room in the front yard.

In the Jiang family's main room, seven or eight middle-aged men wearing silk long gowns were already sitting inside.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao entered, the few of them looked at her in unison.

Jiang Wei said at the right time: "The soap was researched by my daughter. If you have any questions, just ask her."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

No, why does her mother push all the credit onto her?

Although the soap was indeed thought of by her at the beginning, and the formula was also improved by her, her mother also helped a lot during the period and gave suggestions. How could she monopolize it alone?

"If you have any questions, asking my mother is also fine. I'm just helping out."

She was a five-year-old child, it was better not to appear too different from ordinary people.

Those few people looked at her and then at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei, looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao's appearance, couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, everyone, just ask me. The soap was indeed made by my daughter. Even if you want to buy the formula, you have to get her consent."

Those few people, upon hearing about buying the formula, shook their heads repeatedly: "Don't buy, don't buy. Little Lady Jiang, don't misunderstand, we just want to stock some soap from you to sell."

They had long ago inquired that the wealthy Mr. Sun from the neighboring county had once come to the Jiang family to buy the formula, and later left in a dejected manner.

I don't know why, but Mr. Sun seemed to be wary of something and never dared to come and find trouble with the Jiang family again.

They were just ordinary merchants and shopkeepers, not having the financial resources and power of a wealthy man, and even less dared to provoke the Jiang family.

"Little Lady Jiang, I went to your soap shop yesterday to look for you, but the assistant said you had gone home, so I followed the trail all the way here. Please don't blame me." One of them explained.

Jiang Wei beckoned to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao then climbed to her mother's side with her short legs.

Jiang Wei then spoke slowly: "Where are you all from? Why would you think of coming to me to stock soap?"

The person opposite replied: "To tell you the truth, I am from the neighboring Qingping County. You see, your family's soap business is so popular, but it is limited to a small place like Yong'an Town. If it goes through our hands and your soap is sold well elsewhere, not only can your family make money, but your family's soap business can also go to a higher level. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao very much agreed with this person's words.

This was also what she had been thinking about these past few days.

Although her family's soap business was hot, it was limited to this small place, Yong'an Town. If someone could help wholesale it to other places to sell, that would be even better.

Moreover, the output of the soap workshop at home was far more than enough, so it wouldn't hurt to sell some to these people.

"Mother, let's sell them some." Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her mother's sleeve and whispered.

"Alright." Jiang Wei nodded, and then looked at the few people opposite: "I suppose you have inquired clearly. My family's soap has three types in total, namely unscented, milky, and floral. The prices are three hundred wen, four hundred wen, and eight hundred wen respectively... How much do you want to buy?"

The one from Qingping County spoke first: "I will stock one thousand pieces first. Six hundred pieces of unscented soap, three hundred pieces of milky, and one hundred pieces of floral."

Jiang Xiaoxiao, hearing the amount he wanted was not small, hurriedly went to get paper and brush, and recorded them one by one.

The rest of the people also hurriedly stated their stocking amounts.

"My shop needs three hundred pieces, two hundred pieces of unscented, one hundred pieces of milky."

"I want four hundred pieces, all unscented..."

"I want five hundred pieces..."
